Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas has announced the addition of Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel to its portfolio, marking the brand’s debut in Italy.
The addition of this historic property, which is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, heralds the continued growth of Anantara’s European footprint.
Immersed in the splendour of ancient Rome, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome sits at the heart of Piazza della Repubblica and has a fascinating architectural history with original elements commissioned by Pope Clement XI for the Vatican in 1705. The building is suspended over the ancient Diocletian Thermal Baths, whose excavated foundations, pools and mosaics can be seen through the lower ground floor.
The 238 guest rooms and suites of this luxury five-star property blend old-world glamour and elegant comfort with the ease of modern amenities. Interior design ranges from contemporary to neoclassical creating the perfect relaxing ambience and base from which to explore the charms of Rome. Accommodation options offer varying configurations and styles with panoramic city views and spacious terraces.
The hotel is home to five unique dining experiences, with both indoor and al fresco venues honouring Italy’s most authentic culinary traditions with contemporary flair. The Lobby Bar is the beating heart of the hotel, and the intimate Ristorante Tazio serves Roman delights paired with Italy’s finest wines. Guests can raise a glass of bubbles at Champagnerie overlooking the Fountain of the Naiads, or drink and dine against the backdrop of the iconic skyline at the Posh Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge Bar, a truly romantic spot. La Frusta is the choice location for breakfast overlooking the Piazza della Repubblica.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome is currently undergoing its transition to the Anantara brand. The refurbishment, which will start in early 2022 and continue throughout next year, will reveal a glamorous new lobby, a bar with original Art Nouveau décor, a healthy corner and an innovative rooftop space with unrivalled panoramic views.
The hotel’s spa has four treatment rooms and offers a wide range of massages and facial treatments. In 2022 a new Anantara Spa will launch on the hotel’s top floor, with facilities to include a steam bath, a Hammam, hydrotherapy, a sauna and relaxation area.
Additional leisure services will include a fitness centre with personal training sessions available, yoga classes and the opportunity to exercise in the wonderful gardens of Villa Borghese.
“Rome is the spiritual and cultural heart of Italy and one of the most loved cities in the world,” comments Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotels, parent company of Anantara. “We are delighted to be continuing the expansion of our luxury Anantara brand with the first property in Italy.
“Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome invites the discerning luxury traveller to embrace the historic charm of a vibrant city and is a fantastic addition to the Anantara portfolio in Europe.”
